Small Egyptian faience funerary figurine shaped with carved arms and a face/torso, shown in a museum display view.
The image shows a small, greenish-blue faience object on a pedestal. The figurine appears to have a stylized head/upper body with outstretched or raised arms, and gold-colored inlays/painted accents at the shoulders and hands. A rectangular vertical panel on the front is decorated with what looks like hieroglyphic or decorative iconography in darker lines and red/orange pigment. No clear cartouche is visible from this angle, and the arms/upper body carving is somewhat worn or chipped. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The back or underside is not shown. Overall condition appears moderately preserved with some surface loss and chips on the top edges.
